He may not be a corporate shill, but he's definitely another boring, Chomsky-ite who is incapable of any sort of nuanced opinion or discussion on any issue involving US foreign policy that is not framed as "U.S. BAD, ANTI-U.S. GOOD." Oh and his regressive "not all Muslims" bullshit when it comes to the issue of global Islamic terrorism is embarrassing to a level that even humbles the Democracy Now crowd.

Also, he is an Armenian Genocide denier.

I did say "whatever his opinions."

Though serious ouch on that last one.

You said he's Turkish, right......?

I don't have anything against his opinions on most things, it's just his delivery that gets t me sometimes, and he's mellowed with age.

And like StanleyPain said, he doesn't really have much nuance t his stances (or at least that's how he plays himself for the camera) but I feel like the people who work with him these days tend to be good foils for that, like he kind of handles the more gut emotional response to things and then the other TY people balanced that with a little bit of nuance.


But shit, he's better than Wolf Blitzer.

I thought he came around on the genocide thing, forgot about that.

More like "Today in the studio: People who agree with me so we can then engage in ad hominem attacks against people who don't and aren't here to defend themselves and who are easy to make fun of from a distance, actual facts be damned!"

@StanleyPain
Are you referring to some fact specifically?

Sounds a lot like something I said.

I was going to make a joke about that guy who was stealing our comments for Facebook but I'm glad to discover I can't remember his name. Brian something?
